Re: apt wants to remove 526 packages!!?
side note, I just tried this on my workstation running AMD64 unstable
and it came back with nothing to remove but a 38x to install (mostly
kde/gnome).
my a test server running sid also came back with nothing to remove but
it doesn't have X installed (hence no kde/gnome/.....)
